These type of lists have nothing to do with efficient learning. In the information age we have more available information than time. Knowing how to learn is the multiplication factor. If you do your due diligence these lists quickly becomes anecdotal.

I kind of disagree. Knowing what to learn is hard. You have two choices, listen to the advice of others, or learn everything. The latter isn't practical, so I appreciate seeing lists like this. If I see a book on 2 or 3 of these lists, it makes me at least curious to read it if I haven't.

I prefer learning what I find interesting, since I'll learn the most that way. I suppose that gets informed by the advice of others to some extent though.

I also believe in similar lines. These are just good to have list. I personally think its easier to lean from Internet articles, getting started guides, hello world programs etc. Not sure how many here buy and read a programming book end to end before starting to code. (or start with examples given in this book , given that its 2016)
